Colonization was not specific to Europe, nor is it even relevant to it in the modern age.

If France wants to reimburse Haiti for the independence debt, it’s welcome to start at any time; I’d hardly begin to say that colonialism isn’t relevant – even in the modern age –, for Europe.

Haiti looks like a country to me.

You’d be correct; a country which suffered from colonialism by a European country; the effects of which continue today. Therefore, the effects of colonialism by at least one European country is still relevant.
You said colonialism by Europe isn’t relevant in the modern age.
